It may FEEL warm enough outside to go swimming, but the water is still super cold. The kids don’t seem to care, though, and they have convinced me to take them swimming 3 times since the pool opened Memorial Day weekend. Apple’s favorite thing to do is to take a shower at the pool. He…
The last 24 hours….
Oh, what a day! Yesterday was an memorable day. I had two doctors appointments during school–first with the dermatologist, and then with the podiatrist. The dermatologist put me on another 3 week treatment for my lips (so, ladies, I am not sick–just lipstick-less)….And the podiatrist was INTERESTING. His assistant, Max, was a Golden Retriever! A…
Band, a dance, and Brownies
These videos may not be as cute as some of the baby videos I’ve seen lately….but I had to share some live shots of the kids. The first video is one I caught of Apple dancing to some silly music in the morning. And as an added bonus, you can hear Taco whining! The 2nd…
Who needs a nanny when you have a monkey around?
In case it’s hard to read the scan, Taco wrote:If I had a monkey, I would show it how to climb a tree and how I can climb the pole in my basment and I will show it how I can build and I would play with it and teach it how to build and…
My son, the pufferfish
Is it just me, or do you see the resemblance between Apple and the pufferfish?? Apple’s hair is so spikey, it’s insane. I haven’t felt like cutting it. I guess I’m curious once again whether it will actually lay down once it gets long enough. So far, I’ve never let it get long enough. The…
Necco’s got talent!
Necco performed at the Elementary school’s annual talent show tonight. She did fabulous singing Just Wave Hello by Charlotte Church. We were all shocked when she said she’d like to sing at the talent show this year–all by herself! What courage! She was a little timid when she got up onto the stage tonight, but…
Dear Santa

Cows get no respect
This morning at breakfast, Noodle surprized me with this comment… “This milk is from cows that were not treated with respect.” Trying to supress a laugh, I turned around and asked her what she meant. Squinting at the milk carton, she pointed at a little bubble. “See, Mom, it says that the cows were not…
The good, the bad, & the ugly
I did it! I exercised today! I felt great afterwards (halfway through the workout I couldn’t say the same). It was a success, and I feel positive. We had a good dinner, everybody finished their homework without a fight, and the kids helped me fold laundry while we watched an episode of Little House together….
